'The most important book about training you'll read this year.' Alex Hutchinson, acclaimed author of Endure
All athletes, from Olympians to weekend warriors, must find the balance between training and recovery to maximize the benefits of workouts and reach optimal performance. For the longest time, coaches and training manuals have emphasized training. However, recovery, the science shows, is a crucial component of exercise training and it's starting to look like it may be the most important one.
Good to Go is the first definitive account of this new frontier in sports and exercise science. Christie Aschwanden, lead science writer at FiveThirtyEight, takes readers on a first-person tour through the science of exercise recovery, from ice-baths and cryogenic freezing chambers to the science behind Usain Bolt's love of chicken nuggets and Tom Brady's recovery pyjamas.
Full of humour and eye-opening revelations, Aschwanden takes us on an invigorating journey through the science and potions of sports recovery and debunks the junk to give a clear picture of what we should actually be doing to achieve peak performance.
